$30.

and is half the Phantoms' size.

I wouldn't say half. The Phantom is longer for sure, and a bit heavier. If I can dig out my X-19, I'll take a comparison pic with the latest ARC-170.

Just found out that they are releasing the gold headed Destro, sans Despoiler, and Battle Armor Cobra Commander, ala DIC cartoons. The upcoming waves look extremely promising. Can't wait for the Crimson Twins. Now if they could only release Sgt. Slaughter, then I'd be golden.

I still don't understand why we have two topics for the 25th GI Joe toys...

This one is for vehicle and the other one is for 25th anniversary GIJoes in general.

No news about vehicles. The TRU 6-packs seem to be finding there way about, but no target vehicles yet.

I hope that if the target vehicles sell well that we get a sky striker and rattler to go with my ace and wild weasel figures.

Well BBTS has listed pre-orders for 25th Vehicles. They all come with drivers and are scheduled to arrive sometime in July. Purchase a case or individually

Here's the link:

If I'm reading the description right on Big Bad Toy Store, then some of the vehicles will be paired up. Correct?

News Credits: 88 · by **DavidT** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 7:32 am

Yep... Looks like there will be VS. 2-packs :grin:

News Credits: 387 · by **Nekoman** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 12:50 pm

They make it sound like the RAM, VAMP and Viper pod will be in a three pack. If so, I may end up troop building characters that aren’t grunts… Why couldn’t they have sold the Viper pod itself in stead of putting it in some dumb three pack? :-x

I nabbed the 3 Target vehicles today using the DPCI.

Well I know where I’m going tomorrow.

What are the tanks like?

It is exactly like the old one.
Only problem is the driver needs to literally be wedged in there because he has a diaper crotch and his knees cannot bend "straight up".

I can snap some pix of them loose.

I thought they were supposed to be retooled for 25th anniversary? That’s no good! Oh well, I don’t own the originals anyway so I guess its still good.

Before the tanks came out I did try putting a 25th anniversary trooper inside of the Septic tank and the results weren’t very pleasant, too bad they couldn’t have retooled it.

Preordered the VAMP. I think my original is still around here somewhere, but I can't pass up getting a new one.

I think it's:

HISS
VAMP
RAM vs Viper Pod
Air Chariot vs Tank Thing

So you'll be stuck troop building RAMs, but at least you'll maintain a 1:1 ratio instead of 2:1.
